Nothing about this I don't like, I like the different tones of white and the skull cap that would cover his hair.

That piece of work just blows me away. The sculpt and paintwork along with the feeling is off the charts. I have a collection of chalkware clowns done by Fred Wright from England in my basement music and work room. For my taste, that is one of the most impressive pieces of work I have seen on P.F. Who makes that?

Thank you for your kind comments Wayne, the producer of this bust is in Florida, Saul L Alvarez, he's a retired NYPD detective, he's really helpful and easy to deal with, the casting needed a little prep work done before priming, ie a few small air bubbles here & there and a couple of casting lines to clean up but nothing really major, it's a superb bust and I must admit I really enjoyed painting him,
Saul is not a member here on PF but you can find him on facebook, I think I have his email address, if you want it give me a PM
Cheers

As usual, you've gone and selected something very much out of the ordinary Jim.
Beautiful painting, and I particularly like the mournful look in the eyes.
Very, very well done.

Cheers,
Andrew
